The meeting started with specific briefings on the 2013-2015 Review and on the Forum on Response
Measures, provided by the SBSTA Chair, Richard Muyungi, and by one of the Co-facilitators of the
expert structured dialogue, Andreas Fischlin. Parties then shared reflections on progress made and
areas requiring further work under the two ADP workstreams.

On workstream 1, Parties commented that a new agreement should be applicable to all,
should be based on science and equity and with sensitivity to national circumstances, and that
mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation should be integral to the new agreement. Another
area of comment included the need for an international, common rules-based system, as well as a
further consultative process or review of commitments.

Among the areas identified as requiring further work were: the timing of the initial
pledges/commitments; the framing, role and concrete elements of adaptation in the new agreement; and
linkages between existing institutions and the new agreement.

Further points raised were that progress on workstream 2 should be a precondition to advancing on the
2015 agreement, and that existing mechanisms like the Green
Climate Fund need to be operationalized with urgency to ensure enhanced action and success in
Warsaw.

On workstream 2, areas of comment by Parties included: recognition of the
interlinkage between workstreams 1 and 2, with workstream 2 being key to building the trust necessary
in workstream 1; and recognition of the equal importance of, and need for balance between mitigation
and adaptation.

Areas seen as requiring further work include: addressing barriers to enhanced action and ambition;
securing financing for enhanced action; and a possible high-level ministerial event or round table to
be held during COP 19 in Warsaw in November.

ADP Co-Chairs’ fifth informal meeting

At the ADP’s fifth informal meeting on organizing the future work of the group, the Co-Chairs
tabled a revised textual proposal based on the comments and suggestions provided by Parties at the
previous meeting. One area commented on by Parties was the balance of approaches between the
technical papers on mitigation and adaptation. Another area of comment was assurance that movement to
a more focused and formal mode of work would not preclude continuing work in round tables and
workshops in parallel. A final informal ADP meeting will be held and a document will be produced at
the closing plenary on 13 June.

ADP Co-Chairs' informal meeting

At the fourth informal meeting of the ADP on organizing the future work of the group,
the ADP Co-Chairs tabled a textual proposal based on the bullets shown to Parties at the previous
meeting and their comments on those bullets. There was basic agreement on the following points:
convening at least one more session in addition to those scheduled in conjunction with the SBI,
SBSTA, COP and CMP sessions this year at COP 19 in Warsaw; amending the proposed submission dates for
the technical papers; and the provision of a Co-Chairs’ note on progress following the June ADP
2 session. The Co-Chairs will revise their paper on the basis of the comments received and will
present a final version at a concluding informal ADP meeting this week.Upcoming ADP meetings at the Bonn session

On the provision of support, points raised included: the importance of full and urgent capitalization
and operationalization of the Green Climate Fund; the
MRV of support; implementation of the work programme on long-term
finance; the issue of balance between mitigation and adaptation action and financing; the
application of the principles of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective
Capabilities (CBDR/RC) to all actions under the Convention; and the option of more targeted and
results-oriented discussions to secure additional and more ambitious efforts to reduce emissions by
2020.

Workstream 1 round table on linkages At a round table on linkages held under
the ADP workstream 1, Parties gave their views on how a 2015 climate agreement can link to existing
institutions and arrangements under the Convention framework, many of which are still new and
evolving. The link to science and the IPCC was highlighted, as well
as the link between the two ADP workstreams. The need to better link to what is happening outside the
UNFCCC was also articulated.
ADP Co-Chairs' informal meetingsThe ADP Co-Chairs held two further informal
meetings on 10 June with regard to organizing the future work of the ADP. The following points
emerged: the desire for more formal work without precluding round tables and workshops; the need for
a decision on additional meetings to be made at the latest in Warsaw; the task of preparing a report
to cover both parts of the second session; and the degree of support to formally suspend the present
ADP session so that it can be resumed in Warsaw in November.

ADP Co-Chairs’ special event with observersAt this
special event, the ADP Co-Chairs, Mr. Jayant Moreshver Mauskar of India and Mr. Harald Dovland of
Norway, provided observers with an opportunity to present concrete ideas and proposals on how
non-State actors can further contribute to collective action on climate change, and how such action
could be enhanced and promoted. Observers not physically present in the room were invited to
participate virtually via live webcast and Twitter.

UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Christiana Figueres, stressed to observers that the special event was a
strategic moment for non-State actors to provide valuable inputs into the negotiations towards a 2015
agreement and into raising immediate climate ambition.

ADP workstream 1 round tables on variety of enhanced actions, parts 3 and 4The
focus at the
round table part 3 on the theme of enhanced actions was on managing ambition in accordance with
science and equity, with Parties emphasizing the importance of the principles of fairness, equity and
science in framing the 2015 agreement. Ideas were put forward on possible means of calculating the
level of ambition, and constructive proposals were made for possible tasks and timelines for the
process until 2015.

At the
round table part 4, the importance of providing means of implementation in an integrated manner
(and MRV of support) was highlighted, especially through already established institutions, for
example GCF/CTCN/TEC. Issues raised included the need for further clarity on financial commitments,
as well as leveraging private finance through the public sector, and the importance of enabling
environments to attract investments.
Workstream 2 round table on building a practical approach to increasing pre-2020
ambitionThis
round table took forward the debate on closing the gap between what is required to keep the world
below a maximum two degrees Celsius temperature rise and current pledges. Governments also examined
means of enhancing climate finance, technology and capacity-building to enable developing countries
to adapt to climate change and green their economies.

Workshop on pre-2020 ambition: EnergyParties convened at a
workshop on energy transformation, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and the
consideration of carbon capture and storage (CCS). It was the third workshop in workstream 2 that
focuses on increasing pre-2020 ambition.

There were views among Parties that renewable energy and energy efficiency will not be enough and
that all options should be explored, including CCS, for which large demonstration projects and
platforms are needed. Parties also highlighted the importance of, and barriers to: the provision of
financial support; technology transfer; and stable policy frameworks.

ADP informal meetingThe ADP Co-Chairs held an informal meeting to discuss
general ADP matters. The meeting set out to discuss work leading up to COP 19 in Warsaw and to
confirm the schedule for the remainder of the Bonn session.

ADP update Thursday 6 June

Round table on workstream 1: Variety of actionsThe
workstream 1 round table discussions on variety of enhanced actions continued on Thursday, with a
focus on transparency and accountability. Parties explored related proposals and ideas, including
that of a possible process to assess and adjust enhanced actions.

Briefing for Parties At the invitation of the ADP Co-Chairs, a
briefing for Parties took place 6 June, given by Co-Chairs of nine institutions under the
Convention relevant to the provision of means of implementation. The purpose of this event was to
inform Parties on the ongoing work and progress of each institution in providing implementation under
the Convention, so that governments can avoid any duplicate discussion under the ADP. The briefing
was well received by Parties.

Workshop on enhancing adaptation through the 2015 agreementAlso on 6 June, a
workshop on enhancing adaptation through the 2015 agreement was held. The focus was on how to
enhance adaptation through the 2015 agreement in a way that achieves balance between adaptation and
mitigation, including through strengthening existing institutions, arrangements and support. Parties
agreed that adaptation should be an integral part of a new agreement.

ADP update Wednesday 5 June

ADP workstream 2 round table on increasing mitigation ambitionOn 5 June,
the ADP workstream 2 convened a
two-part round table on building a practical and results-oriented approach to increasing pre-2020
ambition. The basis of the discussion was a well-received presentation by Dr. Joseph Alcamo on the
2012 UNEP Emissions Gap
report, which was followed by interventions from specific Parties and a general discussion.

Prof. Alcamo noted that mitigation potential existed to reduce emissions by 17 Gt per year in 2020 -
enough to close the 2020 gap by 8-13 Gt. He also noted that the world cannot wait until 2020 to begin
stringent emissions reductions.

Round table under workstream 1 on variety of enhanced actions, part
2 During the second part of the
round table under ADP workstream 1 - focusing on transparency and accountability - specific views
were elaborated on how transparency and accountability should be reflected in the 2015 agreement. The
need for internationally agreed rules to ensure transparency of enhanced actions/commitments up front
was expressed in almost all interventions, with many Parties elaborating on what the ex-ante and
ex-post transparency would entail.

ADP update Tuesday 4 June

The ADP re-opened its work at ADP 2.2 in Bonn at the
plenary held on Tuesday morning, with the proposed organization of work unanimously accepted. A
number of Parties gave their general ideas on future work and on capturing progress.

Work continued in the afternoon
round table on workstream 1, which focused on the process for securing a variety of enhanced
actions - with respect to mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology and capacity- building support
- including commitments in the 2015 agreement, based on international rules.

Parties had a focused discussion on top-down and bottom-up approaches. A majority of Parties
considered and suggested ways to combine them, although a number of Parties warned against bottom-up
approaches, highlighting the need for strong top-down elements such as goals and rules.

Ideas were exchanged on types of commitments, and the issue of a possible step-wise approach to
defining contributions was brought up by many Parties. There was general interest in exploring what
the process would look like and what the timelines for action would be.
